Dunkin' Donuts Glazed Donuts Recipe (Copycat)

Fluffy yeast-raised doughnuts fried until golden and dipped in a sweet vanilla glaze, just like the coffee-shop classic.

Ingredients

2 tbsp	30 ml	yeast
1 cup	240 ml	warm water
½ cup	120 ml	sugar
½ tsp	2.5 ml	salt
1 stick		butter, melted
½ cup	120 ml	warm milk
2		eggs
2		egg yolks
4½ cups	1.1 l	all-purpose flour
3 cups	720 ml	powdered sugar (glaze)
½ cup	120 ml	water (glaze)
¼ tsp	1.3 ml	vanilla sugar/vanillin (glaze)

In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix the warm water, yeast and 1 teaspoon of the sugar together and let poof for 5 minutes.
Whisk in the remaining sugar, salt, warm milk, butter, eggs and egg yolks. Add the flour and mix on low speed until the dough comes together, then knead for 5 minutes. The dough should be tacky. Place in an oiled bowl and let rise 1 hour in a warm place.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and roll out to a ½-inch thickness (about a 17-inch oval).
Cut out donuts with a 3.5-inch donut cutter. Re-roll scraps and keep cutting. Let the donuts rise another 20–30 minutes.
Heat 2–3 cups of oil in a medium frying pan over medium-low heat. Fry the donuts 3–4 at a time until lightly golden on each side, then transfer to paper towels. Use a mild frying oil such as shortening, soybean or canola.
Combine the glaze ingredients and dip the warm donuts in the glaze. Serve.
